Barley Water. Time—20 minutes.
2 dessertspoonfuls prepared barley, 1 pint milk or water.
Put the barley into a basin and mix to a smooth paste with a little cold milk or water, then add to it gradually the boiling milk or water, stirring carefully with a wooden spoon all the time. Boil 10 minutes, stir continually and avoid lumps. Sweeten, and if made with water serve with lemon-juice.
